Chapter 3- What One Sees...

Amber sat on her bed with her black and red Beyblade resting in her palm. She was discouraged because of the recent battle she had with Andir. The result was the same... a Tie. It was as though Fate refused to allow one or the other to be the stronger one, like they were both equals, no matter how many times they battled. She was reaching a point to where she doubted her own abilities.

"Talk to me Zinrai."

She said to the top that had two spikes on the sides that resembled two identical dragon heads chasing each other.

"Why don't you win? Why doesn't Hayate win? We win against other Beybladers, but not against each other. Why?"

Zinrai, a black metal dragon with three long red metal claws for hands suddenly appeared on the top and looked up at its owner. The tiny dragon had no answers to give, and though it may look dangerous, it would never harm her.

"Why Zinrai? Am I so desperate that I would fight weaker opponents to win?"

The Bit-Beast looked at her with its purple eyes, and said in her mind

"Do not despair. This is merely a test. You and Andir were chosen to have us for a purpose. Yes, we fight and try to win, but our powers forbid us to dominate the other. Hayate and I form an eternal circle. What happens to one, happens to the other."

"You mean when one of you is defeated, you both are?"

"In a way. Should Hayate or myself lose in a battle, the other has a reaction. Like a part of himself suddenly went missing. We can not live unless be both are. To help you understand, remember this: What one sees, both see. What one knows, both know."

Amber didn't understand her Bit-Beasts words, but she decided not to push the subject any further. Instead, she decided to ask

"Well, are you ready for next week?"

"To put it bluntly... I'm all psyched up!"

Amber smiled. At least one of them were.

Andir, on the other hand, wasn't too particular in entering next week matches. The questions the judges asked for were invasion of his privacy, to which he felt offended. But that was yesterday. Yet, he still showed no emotions about how he felt on the subject. Holding Hayate tightly, he focuses his thoughts. It was believed he could actually use metal powers to manipulate his Beyblade. That was not the truth. He could telepathically communicate with the white dragon Bit-Beast within the top. But it was no secret; Amber could do the same thing, even though she might appear hyper at the time.

"My training is not progressing. What more must I do?"

He asked, he got no answers.

The next day, Andir was busy with the daily chores his father had assigned him. As he was taking laundry from the washer and placing it into the dryer, the phone rang. Without much thought of who it might be, Andir answered it.

"Hello?"

"Andir. I challenge you."

Came Amber's voice. Andir sighed

"Again?"

"Was that a sigh? Are you actually letting your cold exterior melt?"

"Cut back on the lighter fluid Amber. I have done nothing of the sort."

He replied.

"Then you won't mind another match."

"It'll be the same result."

"I'm training myself for next week. I'm surprised you haven't started."

"I don't need it."

"You sound so certain Andir. Are you sure?"

"The only training I need, is to improve my metal skills. You should do the same."

"Whatever. Same place, same time."

Andir said nothing but hung up. As usual, Amber was her perky self. But the fact that she admitted she was training, might have actually shocked him, if he hadn't already known. As he walked to his room to gather his equipment, he began to wonder. How does he know what Amber is doing? And how does she know what he's thinking? It was like the two shared the same brain but different bodies. Could this connection be the reason why the Hidden Spirit Beyblades had suddenly appeared to them? Andir shakes his head. No... That wasn't it. It was coincidence that the two both got their Beyblades at the same time... Or maybe it was.

The Hidden Spirit Beyblades were mysterious. Andir knew. but what he didn't know was why the stores did not sell them. He's seen them sell hundreds of Beyblades, yet none of them were Hidden Spirits. When he asked the store keeper about it, the man only said

"I've been selling Beyblade toys ever since they were developed and I have not seen or heard of one called a 'Hidden Spirit'. Sorry."

Even in the catalogs and websites, Andir found nothing. It was like Hayate and Zinrai didn't even exist. Which made it all the stranger. Once Andir was convinced that he couldn't get any information on the tops, he abandoned his search for answers and just let Fate take him down whatever path it chose for him.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Well? Questions? Comments? What did you think? Did you like it? Did you hate it? I'm trying to get some reviews, so please submit one (or two) Thanks.

BTW, Just so no one argues about it, this is taking place in a parallel universe. Everything's the same, except only two Hidden Spirit Beyblades exist, but none knows about it (Except Andir and Amber)

Until Next Time ^_^
